    You have some lovely varieties. I wonder how they decide that a new variety is different enough to name as I have some that look like some of these but have a different name. My Cum Laude looks like you Passionate and My Tres Chic is very like your Purissima

      You are right Sue, I think there may be slight variations such as height etc.

    Jan Reus would be my favourite Dutch Master, but you have a stunning gallery in your garden.

      It is Jessica, yet so delicate it is the first to flower.

    Beautiful gallery. Best tulip for staying power in my garden has to be Brown Sugar.

      Thank you Kate. I looked up Brown Sugar, I see Sarah Raven rates it so you are in good company.

    I do love that pink one, China Pink. They are all wonderful! Ballade is also very pretty. I nearly ordered Peppermint Stick last year... it is quite something and I may put it on this year's list. Thanks for sharing!

    Lovely collection! I don't have as many but I have just remembered what the lovely, dark tulips I have are called - Queen of the Night, thanks. Amelia

    A lovely selection - I am not all that good at growing tulips and once planted equal numbers of white and black (Queen of Night). Only the black ones came up so that one has been a favourite ever since.
    But I do like your Ballade and Abu Hassan. And Peppermintstick and Flaming Mint Green are very unusual...
    Best wishes :)

      There are so many good ones. Perhaps the squirrels only liked the white ones!,
